Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1553

Kang Chenyan did not recognize his own relatives and killed his own brothers for the sake of justice. In the eyes of the world, this was ultimately considered a heinous crime.

He had been planning on this path for several years and knew the consequences.

Kang Chenyan told the story of his biological mother's death in detail. He had no intention of defending himself, but he cared about Xiyue and was afraid that Xiyue would mistakenly think he was a cruel person.

Even if the marriage didn't work out, he didn't want to leave a vicious impression in Xiyue's heart.

Because he felt that with the intelligence of the princess and her husband, they would probably quickly guess that the letter was written by him.

Kang Chenyan lowered his eyebrows the whole time, his expression extremely calm, "Ever since I knew that my aunt was murdered, I have thought of more than a hundred recipes in my mind to kill my stepmother silently and avenge her."

His voice was slightly deep. "But, I am a doctor. The Kang family's ancestral teachings say that only a compassionate heart can make a doctor a good doctor. If I kill my stepmother with medicine and stain my hands with blood, I will become the person I hate. My aunt's spirit in heaven would definitely not want to see me lose my nature because of revenge and tarnish the name of a doctor. So..."

When he looked up, he saw that the princess and her husband had calm expressions, without any signs of surprise or disgust.

That peace gave him endless courage and strength. "So I started collecting evidence of my father and brother's crimes eight years ago. I didn't dare to easily bring out the evidence because I was worried that those officials were in cahoots with my father and brother. I kept it to myself until a few days ago, when the princess was willing to stay for me for a few days. I was willing to believe that where the princess was, there would be justice and righteousness."

At this moment, Shi Anxia admired Kang Chenyan very much.

In a way, they were the same kind of people. She also tried her best to avoid getting her hands dirty with blood and revenge.

Seeking momentary pleasure, but sowing dark seeds in the heart.

She liked the way Kang Chenyan lived openly in the sunshine. Even if he made his plans known to the public, even if he was condemned by thousands of people for sacrificing his relatives for the sake of justice, he could still be clear-minded and proud of himself.

Kang Chenyan had never appeared in "Records of Mountains and Rivers of Beiyi" in his previous life, and no one had ever mentioned this person in front of Shi Anxia.

I guess he was one of those thousands of Northern Wing soldiers who left no name.

Shi Anxia suddenly smiled and called out, "Xiyue, come in, don't peek outside."

Xiyue blushed when she heard that, lifted the curtain and walked in, bowing her head.

The moment Kang Chenyan entered the princess's mansion, many people ran to call her. Everyone hoped that Xiyue would agree to Kang Chenyan's proposal.

And Xiyue herself... heard Kang Chenyan handing over the evidence of his father and brother's crimes with his own hands outside the door, and also heard the cause of his aunt's death, and her heart was already aching.

It turns out this person's life was so hard and so forbearing!

Kang Chenyan realized that Miss Xiyue might have heard the whole story, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He bowed to her and asked, "Miss Xiyue, do you think I was too cruel to your father?"

Xiyue was silent for a moment, then answered, "Your aunt has 'seven-day wind', which means she can be saved in seven days. Your father was born into a family of military doctors and was the Imperial Physician, so he must be someone who knows a lot about medicine. If he had cared more about your aunt during these seven days, your stepmother would not have succeeded. In the final analysis, your father and your stepmother are the ones who killed your aunt."

There was an inexplicable hint of tears in Kang Chenyan's eyes.

It turns out this is what it feels like to be understood by others, especially by the girl you love.

The hard wall of his heart that he had built up over the years was melting away little by little, just like when the spring breeze blows, beautiful flowers can bloom even on the cliffs.

Kang Chenyan was indeed resentful of his father's indifference. As far as he knew, his aunt's personal maid had cried and begged his father to go and see her. But his father was eager to have fun at that time, and he was having fun with a prostitute every night, and he didn't care about his aunt at all.
